There's also a fifth level (the default, when no QoS level is manually specified) which allows macOS to decide for itself how important a task is. MacOS offers four directly specified levels of task prioritization-from low to high, they are background, utility, userInitiated, and userInteractive. When Oakley noticed how frequently Mac users praised M1 Macs for feeling incredibly fast-despite performance measurements that don't always back those feelings up-he took a closer look at macOS native task scheduling. ![]() As of 2019, Ubuntu has deprecated cfq entirely. Red Hat ditched cfq for deadline in 2013, as did RHEL 7-and Ubuntu followed suit shortly thereafter in its 2014 Trusty Tahr (14.04) release. ![]() Unfortunately, while cfq did in fact measurably improve maximum throughput, it did so at the increase of task latency-which meant that a moderately loaded system felt sluggish and unresponsive to its users, leading to a large groundswell of complaints.Īlthough cfq could be tuned for lower latency, most unhappy users just replaced it entirely with a competing scheduler like noop or deadline instead-and despite the lower maximum throughput, the decreased individual latency made desktop/interactive users happier with how fast their machines felt.Īfter discovering how suboptimal maximized throughput at the expense of latency was, most Linux distributions moved away from cfq just as many of their users had. What humans generally notice isn't throughput, it's latency-not the number of times a task can be accomplished, but the time it takes to complete an individual task. Although throughput is generally the easiest metric to measure, it doesn't correspond very well to human perception. There's a very common tendency to equate "performance" with throughput-roughly speaking, tasks accomplished per unit of time. More throughput doesn’t always mean happier users If you're not familiar with the term, it's short for Quality of Service-and it's all about task scheduling. Howard Oakley-author of several Mac-native utilities such as Cormorant, Spundle, and Stibium-did some digging to find out why his M1 Mac felt faster than Intel Macs did, and he concluded that the answer is QoS. We're referring, of course, to feeling fast-which has more to do with a system meeting user expectations predictably and reliably than it does with raw speed. ![]() We are a hospital, therefore we only qualify for the healthcare/non-profit discount.Apple's M1 processor is a world-class desktop and laptop processor-but when it comes to general-purpose end-user systems, there's something even better than being fast. This difference is because UC qualifies for the educational discount whereas Children’s Hospital does not. Although Cincinnati Children’s Hospital is affiliated with UC, we are not a degree granting institution. There is a difference in the price of software purchased from Biomedical Informatics at Children’s Hospital versus from the UC Bookstore. Since Children’s Hospital is a separate entity from UC, installing software purchased from UC on CCHMC owned computers is a violation of that license agreement. However, when purchasing from UC, the license agreement states that the software can be installed only on your personally owned or UC-owned computer and not on machines owned by other institutions. Please make sure you read the license agreement carefully before you use UC software.įaculty and students of UC are eligible to purchase software from UC. In many cases this software is licensed specifically to UC employees only (i.e., people who receive paychecks from UC) or must be run on UC-owned or controlled equipment, making it inaccessible to Cincinnati Children's personnel. UC researchers are served with desktop software by UCIT.
